The plot of this comedy is as follows: Harpagon the miser and his
son Cléante (2 syl.) both want to marry Mariane (3 syl.),
daughter of Anselme, alias don Thomas d'Alburci, of Naples.
Cléante gets possession of a casket of gold belonging to the
miser, and hidden in the garden. When Harpagon discovers his loss,
he raves like a madman, and Cléante gives him the choice of
Mariane or the casket. The miser chooses the casket, and leaves
the young lady to his son. The second plot is connected with Elise
(2 syl.), the miser's daughter, promised in marriage by the
father to his friend Anselme (2 syl.); but Elise is herself in
love with Valère, who, however, turns out to be the son of
Anselme. As soon as Anselme discovers that Valère is his
son, who he thought had been lost at sea, he resigns to him Elise; and
so in both instances the young folks marry together, and the old ones
give up their unnatural rivalry.—Molière: L'Avare
(The Miser), 1667. (The Reader's Handbook of Famous
Names in Fiction, &c., Brewer, 1910)
